Unfortunately it's not as powerful, but it's great for simple text search & replaces without regular expressions.

RegEx's are great, but they can certainly be confusing. I'm sure there are good 'starter' tutorials on the web.

As for doing this in CSE HTML Validator, I believe it can be done but it would only work on the current document or on all the documents you have open. Is this what you want or did you want to search & replace a lot of files without having them all open in the editor? If you want me to give more specifics on doing this with CSE HTML Validator, then let me know.

Another option may be TopStyle as I believe it has more powerful search & replace operations. You may want to try the TopStyle 5 BETA.

I think that af9 does not allow range search (replace text between text identifiers)... does it?

If achieving this is possible within CSE HTML Validator, I'd appreciate some guidance (regex?). Opening all documents does not make it impossible for me, because most of my sites are under 100 pages. And I have a lready managed to replace exact match text across an entire website using CSE HTML Validator; the only thing I could not do is replace within a text range.

No, I don't think it does. It would be great if it supported regular expressions but I don't think it does.
